Polarization

Obituary of the Good Ole Days Imagine a little league baseball coach- a middle-aged man with graying hair and the faint odor of barbecue sauce lingering on his cargo shorts. He towers over his team of scrappy second graders and looks down with disapproval. Instead of encouraging the children to play to their strengths and enjoy the game, he tirelessly ridicules the young players for having more advanced bats and gloves than he did. Back in his day, he had to make do with a wooden bat and a…

Should Police Wear Body Cameras? Every country in the world that has a Government, there is a police department in it. The police department plays a significant role in the implementation of the constitution. Police officers protect the lives and the properties of the citizens. The police department is responsible for enforcing laws, rulings, and regulations meant to protect the citizens, maintain order and deal with lawbreakers. Police related professionals include guards, fire marshals,…

scene of a woman and her child walking up a set of stairs, but the ordinary subject is made eerily abstract by the camera’s perspective. The woman and child are juxtaposed with the rigid black and white stairs in a way that seems to reflect the the polarization of humans in the shadow of industrialization during the Soviet Union’s more utopian days. "Asphalting a Street in Moscow," made in 1929, provides some insight as to why Rodchenko's work was disparaged, since the tilted horizon line,…

Polarization curve Fuel cell creates 1.16 V of equilibrium potential between hydrogen and oxygen. However, the actual open circuit voltage is around 1 V due to temperature, pressure, and the concentration of the reactant. The ohmic loss is the resistance loss induced by the unique resistances of the component of fuel cell. And the concentration loss occurs when reaction rates of hydrogen and oxygen are faster than their supply rates. (1) The diffusion flux created according to…

after the riots was disturbing as post riot programs did not help alleviate African-Americans, only exacerbating racial tensions and equipping police with better weapons to combat the rioters. The report also stated, “in several cities, increasing polarization is evident, with continuing breakdown of inter-racial communication, and growth of white segregationist or black separatist groups.” The Bush and Reagan administrations did almost next to nothing to renew and reinvest into these urban…

Chris Mooney’s article “How to Convince Conservative Christians That Global Warming Is Real” is a controversial column. At the time of this article, 2 May 2014, the Christian community’s acceptance of global warming had increased by ten percent since 2008 Pew polls. Mooney’s entire career has been entrenched in and around Christians’ disbelief in science and politics. Mooney began his career at the Center for Inquiry and now is a successful author and journalist. Mooney is presently a…

cities was horrible” (155). More so, Boyer (1998) interjects with data collected by Asa Briggs (1963) that defines the error of Engels’ assumption that Manchester and Lancashire were :”Unique” cities that defied an extreme division of labor and the polarization of the rich and poor: “That Manchester, with its large factories, and “alarming social relationships”, was not a typical British industrial city” 157). This type of commentary defines the historical assumption that contemporary…

could deescalate her feelings of indecisiveness. This happens because the two-party system in America always seems to churn out flawed candidates. The scenario repeats itself. The Republicans and Democrats are shown as complete opposites. This polarization of candidates moves many voters to consider voting…

Paranoia is the heart of the Cold War. Paranoia is defined as “a mental condition characterized by delusions of...exaggeration,” and further, misperceptions of reality. This form of madness fueled the Cold War and its pop culture, government manipulation/exploitation of citizens, and the loss of humanity during the Cold War Era. Many of these themes are expressed in The Cold War 1964 film Dr. Strangelove or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb, directed by Stanley Kubrick. Fear…

1) The first stage of Genocide is Classification. This stage is used to distinguish people by race, religion, or nationality. This helps place the boundaries and limitations on groups that can further create their own understanding as one big group. One event I would say that is an example of this is slavery. They took groups and put limitations on African Americans they told them how to think, feel, and conduct themselves. I would label this event as a genocide because this was created to…
